The Artistic Eye

I was walking down the lily pond trail, and I was struck by the patterns on a dead branch. The arrangement of shapes reminded me of the paintings of abstract expressionist Clyfford Still (1904-1980).

Art has helped me to see the world in new and interesting ways. It has aided in being able to let go of wanting to name and categorize everything. I can more fully enjoy the infinite shapes, colors, textures, and patterns in nature.
